"I’d like to highly recommend MJ Masonry Corp, who recently installed new paver walkway and granite steps at our home. From start to finish, the experience was outstanding. The quality of the workmanship, attention to detail, and professionalism were exceptional. The new pavers and granite steps look beautiful, and it’s clear the entire team takes pride in their work. They were responsive, dependable, and genuinely committed to making sure everything was done right. It’s refreshing to work with a company that takes such pride in its craftsmanship and customer satisfaction. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend MJ Masonry Corp to anyone looking for quality masonry and hardscaping services. I’d gladly hire them again"

"We hired JT to repair a chimney that was leaking and absorbing water through cracks in the crown along with some installation issues. There was also some wood damage to the adjacent trim. JT provided a very detailed quote and offered several options to address the issue. After we decided to work with him, he started very quickly as some bad weather was in the forecast. The job was done quickly, clean-up was excellent and we are very happy with the work done. TJ emailed us with updates as the job progressed. We would highly recommend JT for chimney repairs."

"Three Brothers Masonry came and did a repair on my chimney. The repair was needed because the chimney started to tilt and I look more someone to coke do it but they would charge me a lot for it. So I found Ben and his team who came and did it for me. He offered a pretty good price and the work is excellent, he was also respectful and walked me through the process of the repair. I would highly recommend them."

"Project: 2 patios using pavers. Received quotes from multiple contractors about the project, Andre and his team were the most professional throughout the entire process. Few neighbors used other contractors to do their patio, but I can honestly say my turned out much better, also at the same cost. Will definitely use them again for my next project."

Masonry questions, answered by experts

While painting can certainly change the look of a chimney, you should think twice about giving your brick chimney the old landlord special.

Painting brick is porous, meaning it’s full of tiny holes that can soak up moisture. Those holes also allow it to dry, though. So, when you paint it, you trap any moisture inside, providing an opportunity for mold, mildew, and water damage.

Paint also shows wear faster than naked brick. This means that once you paint a brick surface, you’ll have to keep painting it to maintain a clean look. A paint job is also harder to undo on brick because of its porous nature. Once you paint it, it’s hard to go back without some serious power washing—another added cost.

Yes, brick can breathe through limewash. Limewash is a breathable coating made from natural lime and water, allowing moisture to pass through while providing a protective layer. Unlike synthetic paints or sealants, which can trap moisture within the brick and lead to issues like mold, limewash allows the brick to maintain its natural breathability. This characteristic makes limewash an ideal choice for historic structures where preserving the integrity of the brick is essential.

Yes, it is essential to prime or seal a brick fireplace before painting. Brick is a porous and highly absorbent material, so without a primer, paint can seep into the surface, resulting in uneven coverage and allowing the natural brick color to show through. To avoid this, apply one or two coats of a masonry primer. The primer will seal the brick and provide a smooth, uniform layer for the paint to adhere to. Ensure the primer is completely dry before applying the topcoat of paint.

The premise for painting a brick building is fairly simple: Prime the bricks to seal the surface and apply the top coat to protect your brick home. However, it’s easy to miss a few important steps if you’re starting from a raw brick surface and don’t know the basics of how to paint brick. So be sure to reach out to a local professional painter if you have any reservations about correctly painting your brick house.

Yes, limewash on brick can accumulate dust over time. Its porous nature can attract dust particles, especially in environments with high levels of dust or dirt. Additionally, if the limewash surface is left unsealed, it may be more prone to collecting dust. Additionally, incorrectly applied limewash will generate dust. Causes include applying it too thickly instead of thin layers and not allowing enough drying time between layers. Regular maintenance, such as gentle cleaning or dusting, can help mitigate dusty issues.
